Naivasha Girls produces best students in Nakuru County as GK prison dips

Naivasha, Kenya: Naivasha Girls High School was the toast of Nakuru County after it produced some of the best students in the region with two students garnering 84 points.

It was tears of joy in the school that was recently elevated to an ‘extra county’ school as its mean score rose from 9.3 in 2013 to 9.5.

The top two students were Cynthia Wambui Gitonga and Lillian Chepchumba scored an impressive A (plain) with each garnering 84 points.

School Principal Eunice Njenga said a total of 12 girls got A (plain), 37 had A- (minus), 35 had B+ (plus), 25 B (plain), 13 B- (minus) and 10 C+ (plus).

She said the top two girls were among the best in Nakuru County while three others got 82 points.

Prisoners joy

Ms Njenga attributed the good results to hard work, co-operation between the teachers and student and prayers.

“We are pleased with our students due to the impressive results and our target next year is to hit a mean score of 10,” she said.

In Naivasha prison which for years has excelled in the exams, the highest candidate,  Baraza Munyifwa who is serving 10 years for defilement, had a B- (minus).

This is a drop as the highest inmate in 2013, Samuel Kamwara who was incidentally servicing 10 years for defilement, scored an impressive A- (minus).

The second inmate was Peter Ng’ombe Wangia who scored C+ (plus) while Rono Kipng’eno and Phillip Kensi each obtained C (plain).
